@yeimi: No question he was in agony. But ultimately, what's always kept me from blowing my head off (which has been a frequent desire of mine for over 3 decades) is the knowledge that it would be horrible for all the people who love me. Ultimately, if you are loved, suicide can be very selfish; it's more complicated…

@Charlotte Corday: I don't care about the money, but rather the artistic output... and more, that people stop blaming Love for Cobain's suicide.

It's been said before, and bears repeating ad nauseum: Courtney is Gen X/Y's Yoko, and 40 years down the road I hope she'll be accorded the same respect now given to Ono.

@Tigrrl: ... and what it means to have Kurt Cobain as a father? Why only blame the woman? Cobain relinquished his duties as a parent long before Love fucked them up.

What a pleasure to have you here with us!

@eleanorstrousers: I might paint that on my bathroom mirror (in lipstick, of course).

SOOO with you, Ms. Kardashian, I just HATE tits when they're not about sex! #fuckingsarcasm

@SarahMC: That is great! It manages, without saying anything really, to get at the whole problem people have with public breastfeeding—they don't want to see breasts used in their natural function, but love to see them used as sexual objects.

@ChiquitaBonita: Well, the guy wasn't evil—it was other things: the voice, the seductiveness, the slowness, skinny tallness, etc. So I'm jealous of myself...

@MsLongstocking: There weren't any, still holding a torch, 4 FUCKING YEARS LATER. Sigh.

@IBleedGlitter: The High Priestess of Tinsel: A bit in looks, a tiiiiiny bit in personality, but mostly in voice—that Bayou-by-way-of-Sweden accent is virtually identical to the ex's.

Oh dear, Eric reminds me waaay too much of my last boyfriend sometimes...

@LauraElizabeth: It wasn't a joke—he got a shitload of votes, many times what was expected. If we fail to take him seriously, we fail to take the threat he poses seriously.

@autonaimee: That was my impression, although I find it less hahafunny than a scathing indictment of how fucked-up people can be about female bodies.

Thank you for reminding us all exactly what is wrong with your understanding of the queer rights movement. You think it is about fucking; we think it is about basic human decency for others.

@foochy: Which raises the interesting point that AA was never intended to follow trends—it was originally all basics, then started going the porn route when Charney decided the brand should adhere to his aesthetics. That was his perogative... but he seems incapable of recognizing that his aesthetics are not shared by…

@PennyArcadia: Isn't it amazing? I *almost* feel compensated for the demise of Tracie's LOST recaps and the amazing threads they prompted.

@mustlovebooknerd: You are awesome and I have completely fallen in love with you over the past 10 minutes.

@foochy: There's also the part where "elegant lady... haute class" doesn't really fit in with shilling gold lame 'disco' shorts and knee-high athletic socks. His argument is completely off-target.

@Slatka: Eh, I really, REALLY want him to turn down his collar.
